That's probably not a good way to go. This will cause each message to be
scanned twice. Once by the milter and again by the engine via SNF4SA.
If you want to use SNF4SA then you should turn off the milter and use
SNFServer instead.

That will depend on how you have it configured. The milter interface
only provides a few options. Your SNF log should tell you what was found
in the scan and the snfmilter configuration will tell you what SNF told
the milter to do.

That is defined by the milter interface.
Milter.org was shut down permanently just recently.
That page says this is where to find documentation on milters:

SNFMilter should inject the usual SNF headers if they are configured
(they are by default).

That's an entirely different software project. If you want that kind of
functionality then you'd do better to use SNFServer/SNFClient in a
postfix filter. The filter script could then be modified to look at the
results and respond in any way you can code.
